Phineas F. Bresee - A Prince In Israel - Media Sabda Org

"One life is ours. One transient life. Yesterday we were not here; tomorrow we will be gone. We
are heavily freighted with intelligence, conscience, moral obligation, clear light, a knowledge of right
and wrong, all the responsibilities of destiny. God over all has revealed Himself to us. Eternal life
and glory are our inheritance in holiness."
"Horeb's bush is the figure of a heaven-baptized soul, whose fruitage is the flaming glory of the
Divine Presence.'
"Repent. That word dawns upon thy soul like the star of Bethlehem upon the vision of the Eastern
Magi. It means to thee that a new King is born. It means to gather thy store and away--out of the
country--to pour thy treasure at His feet. Repent. It means that thou hast seen the vision of God. That
cross which Constantine saw beneath the sun bearing the inscription, 'In hoc signo vinces' thou hast
seen, with its bleeding, dying victim bearing to you the inscription --'In this hope'--thou hast seen in
it a new possibility; it may be but dimly, but thou hast seen; and written beneath it was pardon,
freedom, purity. Thou hast seen an opening beyond it, in the blue ether, a jeweled portal, and over
it inscribed, 'Life, abounding life, eternal life.' Something of this vision has come to thee."
"The indwelling Holy Ghost will bring about our personal transfiguration. He makes the place of
His abode all glorious. I see human faces that shine with a glory like the rainbow around the throne.
We need not wonder at it. He has made man for his own abode."
"This cripple was, in many things, well surrounded. He lived in a favored land of beauty and
blessing. Sky of deepest azure bent above him. A landscape of more than ordinary attractions met
his gaze. Works of rarest art were all about him--he lay at the beautiful gate of the magnificent
temple -- and more than all, he was at the entrance of the house of God. But none of these things
availed him aught. It w as the name of the Nazarene--that name and the power of the Holy
Ghost--that made him whole.
"There are many who live within a few minutes walk of the house of God, who never enter.
Oceans of selfishness and mountains of prejudice lie between them and the house of the Lord."
"Brethren, we have the pry under a thousand souls, and every one must lift! Lift every pound of
strength! Lift till we see stars! Lift until we see beyond the stars! But, Brethren, we may lift till every
eyes is strained from its socket, and it will do no God, if Jesus of Nazareth walk not in the midst.
When Peter lifted, almighty power wrought."
"Peter hastened to assure them that not any power of their own had wrought it--it was not in them
or of them; but 'The Prince of life,' who was dead and is alive forevermore. The marvel was, the
mystery was, the glory was, that the Holy Ghost took that Name, that uplifted Name, and smote the
hearts of men, and gathered them to the bosom of God."
"There is not a text in the Bible three feet away from Calvary. God has put nothing in His book
that is not within easy reach of His dying Son. Nothing will come into your life that will not be under
the outstretched hand on the cross. So in everything, through everything, tell men of 'The Prince of
Life.' "
